2. Thank you Bill!

A true American patriot!

3. I don't blame the rich. I blame every bastard poorer than the rich

who tows their line.

The rich are simply making choices to make their lives easier and marketing it. It's the idiots who vote against their own best interests, the programmable RWNJ peasants, who have to own the leash they straddle us all with. They're the ones who own the blame.



There's a picture of a pinhead if I've ever seen one.

5. they're the same side of the coin...

These morons and the rich elite are (for the most part) the same people. They both don't give a damn about anyone except themselves and they worship any kind of dominator mentality.

The only difference is these guys dont have money, either by scamming others or inheritance. And they're a little more stupid.

7. They are the cortiers...

And they have always been with us...what they worship is the rich like those same people of old worshiped the king.
There are people who are awed and thrilled with power and wealth, and they fight to preserve it.

8. enough blame to go around

Oh if it were only the RWNJ or right wing nut jobs we could blame

Takes two to Tango

I also wonder if this guy holding the silly sign voted for the party that facilitated (with Democratic assistance) all of the criminal activities that put the O in Owe.

And of course he would see the Patriot Act as just another form of Patriotism since it was shoved through by those with an R after their name (with assistance from Democrats of course)

4. And the effects of this absurd and malignant imbalance in our economy between the incomes

of the very rich and the incomes of most of the rest of us are many and destructive.

It isn't just a question of fairness for the poor and the middle class. We are at the point that everyone, rich and poor are negatively affected by the disparity in income in our country. Every one of us.

6. K & R! Everyone should see this! It's IMPORTANT!

Thank you Bill Moyers! You are a national treasure!

I think it's high time that Bill Moyers got a Presidential Medal of Freedom. (And while we're at it, give a posthumous one to Molly Ivins.)
